Teflon Grix will keep Jowitt out until the lad leaves the club. Absolutely gutted tonight and I'll bet Grix is over it already with CC patting him on the back and arm round his hunched shoulders.

I'm a massive fan of grix

But that was completely unacceptable from one of our most experienced team members
We lost that game down to his mistake regardless of what opportunities we did or didn't take during the full game
He could have cleared it or touched it down but did neither


All we can do now is hope other results go our way if we are going to get to the semis
On top of that we've got to win the last 2 games Wigan at home and hull away
And sadly I can't see that happening

I will try to stay positive as I always do but for me that pretty much our season over

That said it's being an excellent season

Come on! One error in an otherwise excellent game. Yeah, it was a damn important one, but he shouldn't have been put in that position. That play should have been closed down. It's like blaming a goalie for an error when the goal scorer has weaved through the whole side as if they weren't there.

I take your point but that's pushing it for me. He had a good game and there's no point getting on his back, but that was an absolutely shocking error at this level. At such a critical part if the game with 3 minutes left. Very poor. No doubt he'll be gutted still

No doubt Grix should have booted the ball but he didn't and the rest is history.
Thought he was having a good game up till then. Took every high ball and set up Bill's try.
Starts next game for me.

I think he was caught between two stools. Not quite near enough to boot out but he couldn't get his body right to fall on it.

I hope he scores the winner at Hull.

If Grixy plays next week against Hull it should show that Chris Chester as faith in him ! I would trust his judgment before some of the numpty's on here.

It is a tough one to call here.

I think overall in the season he has gone ok, but in the second half of the season there had been errors creeping into his game.

I do tbink he has had plenty of chances and would like to see Max get a run.

Sometimes when a player makes an error, it is a mental thing, and it depends whether Chessie thinks he needs a break or him getting back on the horse, especially with another big game next week.

I think Grix with a point to prove is better than a full back who hasn't played often enough.

Re: Grix out Jowitt in!!! : Thu Sep 07, 2017 10:17 pm  

Well Grix played well throughout the game but made one hell of a mistake there at the end....
....it wasn't a great kick and his hand on top of the ball would have killed the game but not to be. Not sure what he was trying to do. Seemed caught between kicking and touching the ball down then slipped at the crucial bit?

Did not look like scoring most of second half..

Cannot see a victory at Hull or against Wigan so will be the end of season. Hope I am wrong.

Re: Grix out Jowitt in!!! : Thu Sep 07, 2017 10:19 pm  

Yes, I blame Grix for that last Saint's try, but he also created what was one of the best trys seen at Belle Vue since TJ's against Huddersfield. His catching of the high balls was spot on. Bad mistake, but that the way it goes and we are still fourth.

Re: Grix out Jowitt in!!! : Thu Sep 07, 2017 10:23 pm  

How short is your memory? He left grix out the other week and look what happened! This is the business end of the season no time to experiment, stick with whats got you in this posistion,cant hear anyone saying we should drop hadley for young crowther coz he's a wakey lad, no because chester picks the best team he thinks not what us know alls think.
